• `the court, not the arbitration panel, determines whether a previous arbitration award operates as res judicata or collateral estoppel on a subsequent action or demand for arbitration'
• “[W]e will assume, without deciding, that an unconfirmed arbitration award is treated in the same manner as a confirmed award for purposes of res judicata analysis.”
• judgment in first arbitration on breach of a construction contract barred a second arbitration on a claim of breach of warranty arising from the same construction project
• “We have also held that an arbitration clause which encompasses all controversies ‘arising out of’ or ‘related to’ the contract is very broad in its coverage.” (citing McMullin v. Union Land & Mgmt. Co., 242 Va. 337, 341 (1991))
